TEST IS on OCTOBER 26, 2011 and OCTOBER 27, 2011 - BLOCK DAY!!!!
EXTRA CREDIT EXTRA CREDIT !!!!!!!!
EXTRA CREDIT OPTION FOR QUARTER 1: DUE MONDAY (10/24) !!!!!!!! I will add 5 points to your test score,
Create a WORD CARD for one of the KEY TERMS/IDEAS FOR THIS TEST. The key term MUST be written on the card (in LARGE LETTERS). The card must have a WRITTEN description of the word and TWO picture/images that connects to the word. The word needs to be on THICK construction paper or card stock and can not be bigger than a piece of regular paper. The WORD CARD should be colorful, creative, neat, and connected to current information in 8th grade science.
Here are some examples: http://community.prometheanplanet.com/en/blog/b/blog/archive/2011/10/12/teaching-science-vocabulary-with-word-walls.aspx

You will need to know the following:
1. Rules for converting Standard notation to Scientific Notation (how to apply)
2. Rules for converting Scientific Notation to Standard Notation (how to apply)
3. How to convert from Standard notation to Scientific Notation (and vice versa) while keeping the correct significant figures.
4. How to change from incorrect format to correct format in Scientific Notation
8. Why we use Scientific Notation

Odds and Ends:
1. Density of "ocean" water
2. Metric Prefixes
3. Difference between weight and mass
4. Metrics notecards
5. Density of pure water
6. Volume = L X W X H
7. Formulas for density (d=m/v) or (m= d x v) or (v = m/d)
8. 3 main principles of density (powerpoint)
9. 1 mL = 1 cm3
10. How to calculate volume of an irregular shaped object
11. What tool is used to measure weight?
If object has a density > than 1.00 g/mL it will sink in water and if it is < than 1.00 g/mL it will float in water.
This test is NOT going to be a measure of how well you can memorize key terms... it is going to test you on how well you can APPLY the information to different scenarios and problems. For example, I might give you an object and have you describe the object using 7-9 key terms. You will also be required to compare and contrast key terms with each other.
There will be density problems... you need to know the formula and how to rearrange it to calculate mass and volume. (See number 7 above).
You will have the following types of questions: T/F, multiple choice, fill in the blank (no word bank), short answer, and essay.
YOU MUST KNOW THE METRIC PREFIXES!!!!!! YOU MUST KNOW THE METRIC PREFIXES!!!!!! YOU MUST KNOW THE METRIC PREFIXES!!!!!!
THESE ARE ON YOUR NOTECARDS and WEBQUEST !!!!!!
Example = hecto = h= 100 Example = kilo = k = 1000
